[Hunter] Kate

?The sky was gray, and large groups of dark clouds rushed from behind, engulfing the blue sky ahead aggressively.The strong air flow swept past with the attack of the clouds above, and played and laughed in the forest below, bending a large area of ​​lush trees, revealing a small dark area under the layers of greenery. Brown □□ area, three small figures are moving in this area.However, because it was so small, the air flow blew past, and went on to the next area to have fun and roll!

"There might be a typhoon!"

The little pink shadow sighed.

If you look carefully, you will find that this little shadow is actually a very capable girl. Her short honey-colored hair does not reach her shoulders, and it is combed back neatly, leaving only two disobedient hairs. As the man spoke, he accelerated the speed at which he collected the clothes in his hands.

"But brother, he hasn't come back yet."

Next to the girl is a little black-haired loli, the top of her head just touched the girl's waist, and her smooth black hair hangs down to her waist. She is looking anxiously at the wind-ravaged forest, and the girl walking away from her The wind blows her eyebrow-length bangs to the sides.

"On such a day, Xiaojie should come back earlier."

The girl complained dissatisfiedly, but the worry in her eyes was far greater than the complaint.

The chestnut-haired old man answered the call. She was wearing a maroon overcoat and a green scarf. Because she was too old to resist the cold, she also put her hands into the cuffs on both sides to ensure her warmth.

"There is no other way. After all, to Xiaojie, Shanlin is just like his father."

"However, my brother has an appointment with Aunt Mitt, and he will definitely be back before sunset!"

The black-haired Loli spoke swearingly, as if she was the one who made the promise.

"I want that kid to be a man of his word."

The girl looked at the little olive green dress in her hand, and held it tightly.

"Don't worry, although Xiaojie is only 10 years old, he has always been very smart and will come back safe and sound."

Knowing what the two were worried about, the old man smiled and expressed his judgment.

"But he's a child after all, and if anything happens—"

Mitte looked at the little clothes in his hand worriedly, but still handed it to the black-haired Lolita, asking her to put the clothes in a clean basin.

"Don't forget, Mitt, although you can replace the children's mother, you will never be able to replace their father."

The old man reminded helplessly and shook his head.

Before Mitte could react, the black-haired Lolita responded fiercely. She hugged the tub in her hand tightly, her face flushed with excitement.

"My brother and I don't need any parents. Aunt Mitt and grandma are enough for us!"

Mitte was taken aback by the unexpected words, and then couldn't help laughing.

"...you are a real kid, what nonsense are you talking about!"

She rubbed the top of Lori's head, messing up the wind-blown black hair even more, but neither of them paid attention to it.

After sorting out his emotions, Mitt took the last piece of clothing on the hanger and made a decision with great momentum.

"Mom, Leila, let's go back to the house first, we need to prepare dinner!"

*******

Although the strong air current has caused chaos above the forest, there is still peace at the bottom of the forest.A solitary squirrel sprinted after a pine cone that fell from the tree, and hugged it happily when it landed, but before it could enjoy the food, its sensitive ears heard the The sound of branches breaking.

The little fluffy animal was frightened and froze, hurriedly stuffed the pine cone into its mouth, swept its fluffy tail, and rushed into its own tree hole.

With the footsteps of "da-da-da-", a tall man was walking in the forest. He was thin and tall, with amaranth red hat covering half of his head, and long dark golden hair. Her hair danced with the air current, and a long sword was hung on her slender waist, ready to unsheath to meet the enemies in the dark at any time.

His purpose of coming to this small island this time is very simple, and that is to find his long-lost master, the owner of the two-star hunter qualification certificate on his waist.

This small island can almost be described as isolated from the world, as if the traffic everywhere has been deliberately cut off, and the only way to get to the nearest transfer station is by a lone boat.A large area of ​​the island is covered by vegetation, and he can even see some creatures that are almost extinct in the market under these inaccessible vegetation, including [fox bear].

He even saw both ends at once!

However, the situation he faced couldn't make him feel any joy. It was a pair of fox and bear mother and son. Live, powerless to struggle.

Kate suppressed the impatience in her heart, stopped in front of the little boy, and gave the female Fox Bear a knife, finishing him neatly.

"I'm sorry, but the behemoth that hurts people must be executed!"

Before venting her anger, the mother fox and bear collapsed with a ferocious expression before she even knew what happened. The wind pressure raised the man's long hair, and that giant beast would never be able to come back again. stood up.

The little boy still had fear on his face, but his gaze shifted from Fox Bear to the man, and then to Fox Bear, and he relaxed a little.

"Can you stand up?"

The man didn't take back his sword, but cut off the vine that was holding the boy with his sword, and put the sword away after he found that the other party's movement was unhindered.

"Ah."

Now the little boy's expression became more relaxed, and he moved his left foot, ready to stand up.

It was too late and then too soon, the man who had just rescued the little boy suddenly punched the other party, with such force that the little boy was sent flying!The little boy was completely dazed, and fell to the grass in embarrassment.

"At this time, how can anyone enter the wild boar forest! Have you seen this sign?!"

The man lost his composure just now, and pointed to the mark with clear claw marks on the tree trunk, and growled at the little boy.

"Seeing this, no matter who it is, they all know that there will be danger! Didn't your father teach you?!"

"It would be nice if you couldn't hear the barbed squirrel, so you don't have to kill it."

The man looked at the female fox bear who fell on the ground with regret, and said to himself, so he missed the hurt expression on the boy's face when he heard the word "father".

"I have neither father nor mother."

The calm voice of the little boy sounded behind him, and the coolness in it surprised him.

"Shortly after I was born, they died in an accident, leaving me and my sister, both of whom were raised by Aunt Mitt."

"Then... I'm sorry."

The man didn't expect this situation, his aura suddenly dissipated, and he apologized to the little boy embarrassingly.

"Forget it, thank you for saving me."

The little boy was still covering his face with his hands. The right cheek was swollen and reddened unnaturally after being hit by the man. Half of his face was hot.

"What do you want to do with this little fox bear?"

Hearing the little fox bear whimpering in grief, the little boy couldn't help worrying about it.

"Kill it."

The man's answer was straightforward.

"This cub is still breastfeeding and will starve to death soon. Even if it survives, it may attack humans to avenge its mother!"

The man drew out his saber and aimed at the little fox bear who was confronting him ferociously because he felt the murderous aura, but the little boy rushed over unexpectedly and hugged the little fox bear who had just lost his mother. Regardless of the wounds plowed on his body by the opponent's claws, he hugged it stubbornly and blocked it with his body.

"Don't kill it! Let me raise it."

"Impossible, foxes and bears cannot be tamed by humans."

The man's voice was cold, telling the truth mercilessly.

"Even so, I-"

The little boy was still unmoved, and there was not even a trace of wavering in his eyes. The man gave him a complicated look, and put away the blade helplessly.

"……up to you."
